Belin Rounds Out Defensive Coaching Hires

     The newest "Dawg" has been announced and that final Coaching spot finally filled.  Warren Belin, former Vanderbilt linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator, has joined Coach Todd Grantham and Coach Scott Lakatos to fill the three previously vacant spots left behind by CWM, Fabris, and Jancek. 

     Belin spent eight years with the 'Dores as their linebackers coach as well as their recruiting coordinator.  He also was Vandy's special teams coordinator from 06-07, and in my personal opinion, one of the reasons I believe he fit the mold that CMR and CTG were looking for. 

     Belin attended Wake Forest and was a three-year starter and four-year letterman at Wake Forest from 1987-90. He was named to the ACC All-Academic Team in 1990.  Coach Belin is well known for his knowledge of the game, schematics, and football fundamentals.  Not only is he smart when it comes to football, but also academics as he was a two-time ACC Academic Honor Roll recipient, and he earned his B.S. in Health and Sports Science from Wake Forest, while graduating cum laude.

     This hire will defeinately help us in the recruiting area with Coach Belin's experience as Vanderbilt'srecruiting coordinator.  It may also come in handy somewhere down the road if Coach Gardner decides to move on to greener pasture.  All in all sounds like a solid hire!
